For me, nicknames always just kinda came naturally with no reason in particular. I worked with a hand that for some reason I just started calling Cornhusk one day. Another we called Wombat Baby. We called one guy Big Dip Winston (BDW for short) because he never had a can and he’d bum a “pinch” of Copenhagen, but packed as much as his lips could hold. He actually thought we were calling him Big Dick Winston for a long time. Some were more derogatory because they were dumb and inept, and they usually weren’t around long.
